Hello, my Mac unfortunately crashed. I have a Time Machine backup. Using the Migration Assistant on a new Mac allowed me to get all my documents back, but unfortunately Postgres is not able to start.
So I was trying to manually set-up my Postgres db.
Here are the steps:
- install a fresh copy of Postgres (v11) - replace the /Library/PostgreSQL/11/data folder with the one I dig out from my dead Mac, where I assume my data is stored - check/fix owner of folders (must be 'postgres', I assume) - start pgAdmin - enter the PW for postgres user - click on "PostgreSQL 11" server to show databases
This is where I have problems. I am prompted with the same pop-up asking me to enter the password for the user 'postgres'. I type it and I get the message "could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
